Action:
General Review of Virginia Professional Boxing and Wrestling Events Regulations
Action 6440
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (“DPOR”) intends to undertake a general regulatory review of the Virginia Professional Boxing and Wrestling Event Regulations. The regulation provides for the licensure of boxing, martial arts, and wrestling events, including promoters, matchmakers, boxers, martial artists, wrestlers, managers, trainers, and corners.
DPOR intends to repeal the current regulation, 18VAC120-40, and divide the regulation into three new regulations consisting of the Boxing Event Regulations 18VAC120-41, Martial Arts Events Regulations 18VAC120-44, and Wrestling Events Regulations 18VAC120-47.
The goals of the action include:
1. Repeal of the existing regulation and creating a new regulation to govern each specific type of event (boxing, martial arts, and wrestling).
2. Review of discretionary requirements imposed on regulated parties to determine whether such requirements impose burdens that are not necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; or are not necessary to effectively administer the licensure program, in accordance with the regulatory reduction goal of Executive Directive Number One (2022);
3. Review to ensure the regulation complements current Virginia law and meets applicable federal requirements, if any;
4. Review to ensure the regulation is organized, clear, and understandable; and
5. Review to ensure the regulation provides minimal burdens on regulants while still protecting the public.
In addition, the review will ensure the regulation reflects current DPOR procedures and policies, along with any other changes determined to be necessary and appropriate.
